Just for the month of April you can experience flying on Air Canada's newest aircraft, the Boeing 787-9 between Calgary and Frankfurt. According to airlineroute.net the new planes will be on Calgary and Toronto to Frankfurt for April. This will be a great time to try the plane out! Might have to look at doing a family trip to Europe in April just to try it out and also burn some Aeroplan miles.

Earlier this year WestJet announced they will start flying to London
Gatwick in 2016 with their new 767s. What they didn't reveal is which
cities in Canada they would fly from. Thanks to Airlineroute.net
we now know they are making an aggressive launch by serving LGW from 6
cities. WestJet have not revealed this themselves although it looks like
they will be doing so tomorrow as they have press conferences scheduled
in all 6 cities.

Based on this schedule it looks like WestJet will have at least three of
their 767's in service by the time the routes launch as the YVR, YYC,
and YYZ flights all depart on the same day within 15 minutes of each
other. The St. John's flight starting the next day will operate with a
737.
Although it is only one flight per week I'm sure Winnipeggers are happy
to see they get London service!! All of the other cities currently get
year round or seasonal London service from other airlines. Still to
launch from 6 cities to London Gatwick it sure looks like WestJet wants
to take a bite out of the competition!
